I fell in love with this watch quite recently, in the summer of 2025. I was initially going for a gold/steel Rolex Datejust, specifically the 16233 model, but after several months of reflection, I realized that this type of model is not (or no longer) wearable in France, at least not in the way I would like. I didn't want to feel frustrated by not wearing a watch I wanted to wear. The Cartier Santos was the next obvious choice. I was looking for a gold/steel model, iconic, with an integrated bracelet or jubilee bracelet—in short, a "sport chic" model with a touch of gold. This Cartier Santos Galbée model from 2000 meets all these criteria, and as a bonus, I'm not afraid to wear it in town or anywhere else! This integrated bracelet, these blued hands, this subtle touch of gold, both light and elegant, is pure beauty! And this slim case, an ETA automatic movement reworked in such a thin case, is a feat! I never thought I'd ever get my hands on Cartier, but with this model, it's hard to fall for it.
